Its a difficult and irritating problem. Like many on here, I am comfortable in my retirement and if I was to write off the toy car tomorrow with no insurance to cover, it wouldnt change my life in any way. But having worked hard and saved hard all my life to get into this position, I find it impossible to be casual about the depreciation of the car due to mileage. So I end up wondering if I can "afford" the 2000 miles that would be involved in taking the car to le Mans or the 3000 going to Maranello.
Yes, I know that this is stupid and I am being stupid. But being "careful" in the yorkshire sense of that word is just as much an addiction as I found smoking to be.
To get back on topic, it really matters not how many miles you actually do providing you enjoy doing it. If you're the sort that whittles about not being able to use it 'because..' etc then as Kev says, it ain't the car for you.
It all boils down to why you own it in the first place, I guess. I'm not a collector.
